Rhode Island Lottery says iGaming bill would be 'unconstitutional'Īnd he was not the only one raising concerns about the legislation introduced by Senate President Dominick Ruggerio and Senate Majority Leader Ryan Pearson that doesn't just allow iGaming, but also names Bally's as the host for the new online platform and IGT as the exclusive provider.įrom Mark Furcolo, the director of the Rhode Island Lottery, came warning that the legislation (S948) crafted by the Bally's Corporation and IGT is 'likely unconstitutional' as written, and even if that legal hurdle is cleared, iGaming is likely to 'cannibalize' state revenue from existing Lottery offerings. Proposed legislation would designate Bally's as host of the new iGaming online platform.
